Founded in 2023 by St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Highlands Ranch, CO, the St. Andrew Market at the East Community Center focuses on building relationships, walking alongside, and caring for the community. We help to bridge the hunger gap and offer everyday household necessities in a free, safe, and low-barrier market where families can shop for supplemental food, diapers, and hygiene items. We need your help stocking our shelves!
We are asking people to shop for our most current Donations Needed, grocery gift cards, offer monetary donations (for volunteers to be able to shop for fresh items the day before), paper, and hygiene products.
We are looking for volunteers to shop for fresh items, transport donations from St. Andrew to the market, stock shelves, personal shoppers, and so much more! Please email us if you want to learn more and serve with us at the market.

St. Andrew Market 2025 Back-to-School Event
Recap
We believe every child deserves to start school with confidence and tools to succeed! The St. Andrew Market Back-to-School event held on August 7, 2025, supported that effort. This night wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of the St. Andrew family, community partners (including Wholly Kicks, Break Bread, Doctors Care Colorado, Littleton Elks #1650, Food For Thought – Denver) and the incredible team of volunteers who gave their time, energy, and hearts. From unloading boxes and setting up tables, to helping kids find the perfect backpack, every hand made a difference—a living example of what happens when we come together. Thank you!
